Pictured: Benjamin Mendy arrives in LA for medical ahead of €55m move to Manchester City

After a long flight from Paris, Benjamin Mendy has arrived in Los Angeles in recent minutes ahead of his long-awaited move from Monaco to Manchester City.

Mendy left Charles de Gaulle in Paris at 10:35 CEST and after an eleven-plus hour long flight, arrived at Terminal B of LAX at 12:49 PDT.

The 23-year-old posted footage of himself on Instagram after landing and will now travel for his medical, contract signing and the necessary media work before being officially announced as a Man City player.

There are different claims on how much Mendy will cost, with reports in France stating he will be the most expensive defender ever. City have claimed the total cost will be €55million (£49.36million), slightly less than the reports in France say.

Here is Mendy arriving in Los Angeles and on his way to finally meet Manchester City staff and his new teammates:
